It’s also noted for being dark at night.

The Lehigh Gorge area has a lot of history. D&L trail goes over a hundred miles. I found some great BC spots when mother nature cooperates.

I have a hard time with considering the Poconos a "mountain range".

I’m pretty sure that the whole Appalachia mountain range was one of if not THE largest and highest mountains in the world at one time.

Sure is, or was - used to be a lot more. You're looking at the Broad Mountain, home of the infamous American Standard. Jim Thorpe was an east coast mtb mecca in the 80-90's. It's all SGL and the game commission never welcomed mtb. A lot of its been ruined, the rest not maintained much anymore. I still get up there maybe once every other season or so for old times sake.
@Sbob yea the rattlesnakes like that area too!

Not sure where to put this but it’s Pennsylvanian skiing related.

You’ll pay more to hit the slopes this year skiing, snowboarding

If you’re a fan of shredding fresh powder each winter, you’ll pay more at most places around the region this year.

Good geological discussion of The Appachian Mountains.

They’re fun to recreate on.
